Percy POV

"Seashell? Oh, thank my father's underwear."

"Wha.. there are two very, very wrong things with those sentences..."

"Shh. Let me get you some ambrosia."

I shifted slightly in the infirmary bed, slowly opening my eyes and squinting at the bright lights.

A square of ambrosia was pushed towards my mouth, which I absent-mindedly opened before chewing on the godly food.

The face of a very worried, certain blue-eyed immortal hovered above me, and I blinked groggily.

" 'pollo?.."

"Yeah, Perce?"

"Mm, nothing.. checking it was you.."

"Are you tired?"

"Didn't sleep well.."

"Uh-huh, no shit," he said grimly. "You were getting wounds. Like full on knife marks."

"Ah.."

"That's all you have to say?- Perce, what's going on?"

"Well-"

Nico burst in, and I did my best to sit up as he crushed me in a hug.

"You stupid, stupid piece of kelp!"

"Love you too, Neeks..."

It was then I noticed the son of Hades was crying.

"Hey- hey, Nico, I'm okay. I promise, I'm okay-"

"I k-know that, you stupid p-prick!"

I let out a small grunt as he hit me in the chest.

Ow.

He looked at me, teary eyed and I immediately felt guilty.

I had made him cry.

"Death breath?"

"S-shut up.. you made me so w-worried..."

I rubbed his back.

"I'm okay now, though. See? All patched up."

Nico breathed out a sigh of relief.

I glanced around the room, finding the Sun God gone.

It made me feel a little worse than it should.

"I'll get Will.. to check your vitals or s-shit.."

"Alright."

"Don't get up.. idiot.."

"Oi."

The black-haired boy shadow travelled away, and I sank down against the pillow that was propping me up.

Gods, I was exhausted.

My mind was still fresh with the memories of the dream.

It felt like it had actually happened.

Well, it did actually happen, I guess, as I got the injuries in real life.

Was that what the psycho sorceress lady did to me?

Probably.

Ugh.

Evil sorceress ladies.

Pains in the arse.

A/N: argh, sorry for the random POV change that you're gonna get several times in this chapter, I don't have WiFi so I can't create new ones 😭😭

~Nico POV~

I stumbled out of the shadow of a tree and crashed into Will, sending the son of Apollo tumbling to the ground.
